Literary Master 1978

Today is a private publication, but it is actually illegal, and even worse than the journal Weiming Lake founded by the May Fourth Literary Society. At least Weiming Lake is endorsed by Yenching University.

Of course, this is from the perspective of publishing.

Four months after its launch, Today has had a huge impact on the Yenching cultural circle, especially among college students.

Lin Chaoyang can understand the excitement of Wang Xiaoping, Zha Jianying, Huang Ziping and others. For these young literary people, being able to publish their works in Today may make them more excited and proud than being published in People's Literature.

Because this is a trend among young people.

After Zhao Zhenkai's speech, Zha Jianying was the first to express his support, followed by Wang Xiaoping and Huang Ziping.

Lin Chaoyang noticed that the wave of students who came today were mostly from the Morning Club of the Chinese Department.

The so-called Morning Club is a literary club spontaneously formed by students from the Chinese Department last year, but unlike the official background of the May Fourth Literary Society, the Morning Club is loosely organized and is only a nominal organization.

But don't underestimate them. Morning Society has its own journal, called "Morning", which was founded half a year earlier than "Weiming Lake".

The first issue of "Morning" is a special issue on poetry. It goes without saying that the members are all heavy poetry lovers.

However, in recent months, with the development of the May Fourth Literary Society, the members of the Morning Society have been siphoned, causing the development of the Morning Society to stagnate.

After everyone expressed their opinions, they unconsciously cast their eyes on Lin Chaoyang, who had been silent.

"Unfortunately, I did write a novel before, but I just handed it to "Yanjing Literature and Art". I'm afraid that "Today" can't help much."

Lin Chaoyang certainly wouldn't directly mention the manuscript fee. Everyone is an adult, so keep each other decent.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhenkai showed a disappointed expression on his face, but still said: "That's a pity. But if you have a manuscript in the future, you can give priority to our "Today".

"I will definitely do it if there is a chance." Lin Chaoyang smiled, with a tone of sincerity unique to working people, but the content was perfunctory and people could hear it at a glance.

The atmosphere seemed awkward. Chen Jiangong joked for a while, and Lin Chaoyang said hello to everyone and left.

Not long after he left, Zhao Zhenkai also left.

Cha Jianying looked unhappy and complained to Wang Xiaoping: "You are right. That Lin Chaoyang is really arrogant!"

"I think it's okay. It's his own manuscript, so of course he has the power to decide who to give it to. Didn't he say it before? He is not interested in poetry, and it seems to be true."

"No one forced him, the key is his attitude, which is really annoying."

Cha Jianying's psychology is actually not difficult to understand, just like those fans who chase stars in later generations.

Zhao Zhenkai is her idol in her heart. It's such an honor for her idol to ask them to write for her.

Lin Chaoyang refused in person, but his attitude was a bit perfunctory. He really doesn't know how to respect people at all!

"Xiao Cha, Chaoyang is different from us. His works have been verified by the public. Before, Liu Xinwu asked for an article for October, but he didn't give it to him either."

Chen Jiangong invited Lin Chaoyang today purely because of Wang Xiaoping's request. She knew that Chen Jiangong and Lin Chaoyang had a good relationship.

"October? What's wrong with October!"

Cha Jianying's tone was still indignant, but her voice was lowered.

It's true that she felt sorry for her idol, but she hadn't completely lost her mind.

Chen Jiangong laughed, "Okay, you really can't blame Chaoyang for this."

Cha Jianying stopped talking, and Wang Xiaoping took her to the cafeteria to eat.

When Lin Chaoyang returned home, he heard a quarrel.

It was the sister-in-law who had just returned home who was caught by Tao Yushu, and the two sisters were quarreling happily.

"Quick, quarrel, quarrel! Just quarrel!"

The two grandsons jumped up and down at home, and Tao Yushu and her sister quarreled endlessly. Tao's mother was troubled by this group of troublesome people.

At this moment, Tao's father and his elder brother-in-law had just got off work. The house was crowded. The three grown men looked at each other tacitly and walked out of the house.

"Dad, have a cigarette!"

Lin Chaoyang handed a cigarette to Tao's father, and his elder brother-in-law came up to ask for it.

While smoking, Lin Chaoyang suddenly remembered his brother-in-law who gave him a cigarette, and said, "I don't know how Du Feng is doing in the south."

The Tao and Du families don't visit each other often, but they were close friends in times of adversity, so their relationship is naturally good.

Lin Chaoyang suddenly mentioned Du Feng, and Tao Yucheng said with a sigh, "He's just 19."

Tao's father smoked a cigarette, "No news is the best news."

This is true. Du Feng is just an art soldier who went to comfort the performance. No news is good news. If there is any news, it can only be bad news.

Several grown men were chatting at the door of the unit, and at this time an old comrade came downstairs.

"Professor Wu!"

The man was Wu Zuxiang, whose class Lin Chaoyang had taken before. Lin Chaoyang greeted the old comrade and took the initiative to hand him a cigarette.

The men lit another cigarette in tacit agreement, and soon, the door of the unit was filled with smoke.

By the time of dinner, the house had returned to peace.

After dinner, Tao Yushu returned to the house and took out a letter, "There's a letter from home."

Before the last Chinese New Year, Lin Erchun and his wife sent a large package of mountain goods to Tao's family. With this gift, Tao's father decided to go to the Northeast to meet his relatives next year. In return, he also sent a gift to Lin Erchun and his wife.

The gift was mailed around the time of the Lunar New Year, but it arrived after the Chinese New Year. Lin Erchun and his wife were overjoyed to receive the gift.

Of course, what they were happy about was not the gift, but the Tao family's attitude, and Lin Chaoyang also told the couple about Tao's father's decision in the letter.

In the past six months, Lin Erchun and his wife have been feeling uneasy.

Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu returned to the city. Of course their daughter-in-law had good intentions, but what about her family? What about the opinions of parents and siblings? Will his son be able to adapt to Yanjing? Will you be offended by the Tao family?

In their usual letters, they never mentioned these topics for fear of making Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu anxious and angry. The letter and gift after the New Year completely put their minds at ease.

Today's letter is already the second one from home after the New Year. It still mentions the gift from Tao's father and the reaction of the team members. It can be seen that it was written by Zhang Guiqin.

Lin Chaoyang could even see the scene in Lin Chaoyang's mind of her talking nonsense to the women in the team. This was a gift. If Tao's father took them back to Xiaoyangtun, Lin Chaoyang estimated that Comrade Zhang Guiqin would poke holes in the sky in Xiaoyangtun. Make a hole.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile a little.

Lin Chaoyang was replying to the letter when Tao Yushu asked him: "What should I do with the money?"

Before the Chinese New Year, Tao Yushu mailed 100 yuan to Lin Erchun and his wife, but after the Chinese New Year, they mailed the money back again. They also said that Lin Chaoyang and his wife had just gotten married and had too much money to spend. But the couple was in the countryside and had no place to spend money if they wanted to.

Lin Chaoyang sighed, "Let's exchange it for something for them when we go back. If you give them postage money, they will definitely not accept it. If you exchange it for something, they won't be able to throw it away."

Tao Yushu showed a knowing smile. Just as she knew her parents, Lin Chaoyang also knew her parents well.

"good."

When he went to work the next day, Lin Chaoyang did not go to class and stayed in the library.

During lunch, Lin Chaoyang asked Hu Wenqiong to go to the cafeteria first while he watched at the front desk.

Hu Wenqiong and Du Rong went to the cafeteria together. After eating, they were about to go back to the library. When they walked to the door of the cafeteria, they saw several students stacking coal.

These days, it is common for students to participate in labor at school. The two walked past the students, and a conversation floated into their ears.

"Hey, did you really go to the library to see Xu Lingjun? What does he look like?"

"A pretty ordinary guy, nothing surprising."

Curiosity drove Du Rong to stop, library? Xu Lingjun?

By the way, she grabbed Hu Wenqiong who was about to leave. Hu Wenqiong had not noticed the conversation between the two students just now and was confused.

At this time, I heard the two students talking again.
